Blood–brain barrier delivery of protein and non-viral gene therapeutics with molecular Trojan horses

Abstract: The products of biotechnology, recombinant proteins, monoclonal antibodies, antisense, RNA interference, or non-viral gene transfer, cannot be developed as pharmaceuticals for the brain, unless these molecules are re-formulated to enable transport across the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Large molecule drugs, and plasmid DNA, can be delivered across the BBB with receptor-specific molecular Trojan horses. Trojan horse BBB delivery systems, coupled with one of 3 different technology platforms (fusion proteins, avid… Show more

“…For this purpose, the amino acid building block Fmoc−Lys(tris-tBu-DOTA)−OH (23) was synthesized and implemented into routine Fmoc-SPPS, giving improved yields compared to standard peptide scaffold synthesis, subsequent side-chain deprotection, and chelator functionalization. AngioPep-2 was further reacted on a solid support with PEG linkers of different lengths (PEG 3 , PEG 5 , PEG 7 , and PEG 11 ) and maleimidohexanoic acid. After cleavage from the resin and purification, the peptide derivatives were conjugated to FP-T (1).…”

“…In vivo, PEG-coated liposomes have been modified with monoclonal antibodies in order to reach the CNS. A liposome is coated with peptidomimetic monoclonal antibodies that undergo receptor-mediated transcytosis across the blood-brain barrier on the endogenous peptide receptor transporters (Pardridge, 2007). These Trojan horses (figure 3) may use the insulin or transferrin receptor, and since the MAb binding site is different from the binding site of the endogenous ligand, there is no interference of endogenous ligand transport (Skarlatos et al, 1995).…”
